I was a simple boy, named William right after my daddy and mommy fell in love. A boy who would eat nothing but Ferrero Rocher balls during weddings. I have always thought that Ferrero Rocher balls were like marriages, full of surprises in layers which one could only imagine if they had a taste of it. The glimmering gold foil, which wraps around the ball, represents the initial attraction of a couple. Once the ball is unwrapped and placed into your mouth you could feel the rocky outer layer of crushed hazelnuts in thin chocolate that resembles a relationship going through a succession of both good and bad experiences. After all the trials and tribulations you would crush the crispy floor hidden by the hazelnuts to reach a smooth chocolaty blanket engulfing a whole hazelnut, which bears resemblance, to a couple happily in love with a child.
That child should have been me. Just like a whole hazelnut covered in chocolate, I should have been sheltered

However, I was able to come across a philosopher named Confucius, who has said, “Happiness comes when you believe in what you are doing, know what you are doing, and love what you are doing”. This one simple quote helped illuminate a path for me within this dark time, in addition, to my realization of the fact that I was becoming my father’s shadow.
The years since my abandonment of self-destruction have been a life changer; I started to become a person who seeks warmth and love from helping the needy. Clubs such as MSP and Habitat for Humanity allowed me to aid the needy and gain the social skills to recover my relationship with my mommy. The life-long friends I made from the clubs were not only supportive but persuasive; they were my gateway to my academic and social success. When I looked back at these experiences, it hit me instantly; there were absolutely no correlation between Ferrero Roche and
Everyone chases after happiness. Everyone’s goal of life is being happy. Each of them chooses a variety of measures, such as earning money, to be happy. However, there are many people that are not happy. People always endeavor after happiness, but they never reach it. For what reason are they not able to fulfill their standards of happiness? What effort should they put into their lives to meet them? This essay will explain why people fail to be happy and what people are supposed to do in order to gain happiness.
The wildness is not where to define happiness. He regret for invented himself a new identity. He should’ve encounter severe hardships because we are strong and can defeat every difficult circumstance. We should also respect our parents and obey them, get a good degree and get tasks, and respect life and save it. We shouldn’t put ourselves in danger because we desire to have safe lives.
My story began on a cool summer’s night twenty short years ago. From my earliest memory, I recall my father’s disdain for pursuing education. “Quit school and get a job” was his motto. My mother, in contrast, valued education, but she would never put pressure on anyone: a sixty-five was passing, and there was no motivation to do better. As a child, my uncle was my major role-model. He was a living example of how one could strive for greatness with a proper education and hard work. At this tender age of seven, I knew little about how I would achieve my goals, but I knew that education and hard work were going to be valuable. However, all of my youthful fantasies for broader horizons vanished like smoke when school began.
Happiness is hard to achieve. Some people follow several steps in order to get what they want. People have unlimited wants. However, not all the things they want can give them happiness. Like what Matthie Ricard (2007) said “Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.” (p. 31) Happiness is not about material wealth. It can be assumed that a person is happy because of money but like what people say “money can’t buy happiness”. Aside from that, many things in life hinder people’s happiness. Life is not complete without struggles. Those problems and challenges help people grow. One cannot feel happiness if they were not able to feel sadness. Moreover, happiness seems impossible if one lets other people control their life. People around them affect their decisions, but never
To find happiness, follow the words of those who are wiser then you, for they know
Many wonder what is happiness? Also, they question what they must do to attain it. There are many different books discussing ways how individuals can find happiness. Gladness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive emotions. The root of happiness can result in many different things. One, the root of happiness can result in better health, better thinking ability, and the delight in doing what is right. Another, is the result of contentment with the way of life can root from trying their upmost to succeed, showing love towards others, and self-meditation. Similar to the ones mentioned previously, justification of being a cheerful person leads to the repercussions of inspiring others to make a difference in society. The
The use of a love-potion to complicate things in the play might have been a representation of intense love, and the fact that one would immediately fall in love with the first thing one lays their eyes on,
Over the course of our lives, there are times where we are at a high point, where our lives are full of happiness and there is nothing for us to worry about. However, we often come to sit back and realize that our lives might not be exactly how we imagine it. There are problems and obstacles that we must choose to overcome. With the rate society is evolving at, we miss out on the little things like friends and family that makes our lives that much more special. Life can be filled with bliss no matter how bad things may seem and we can find true happiness from fixing these problems to make our lives blissful.
Happiness will not come to you, it can only come from you. To reach our happiness we have to go through many obstacles in life. As people, we are different and we chase our happiness in a different way. Everyone must pursue their own happiness doing what they like to do like for example spending time with their family because they enjoy it and have a great time doing so. We don’t all pursue happiness in the same way, it varies. Sometimes, happiness is not on the things that we do in every day life and we have to go out to find it. Many people follow their own happiness by going to nature to find their inner self, while others work in what they like to do. I haven’t reached my happiness at this point of my life, but I know I am going to reach my own happiness when my dreams come true.
All of us have those few select people within our lives that we have no idea what we could have ever done without at some point. For some of us, it is our parents; for others, it may be a relative, friend, teacher, or even a stranger. It could be as simple as a phrase or as tortuous and tangled as a lifetime, but people tend to influence us in small or grandiose ways. One of these important people, for me, has been my father.
That which many strive for every day in life is personal happiness. Though the search for happiness may seem fruitless, it remains a constant goal in the hearts of each and every one of us. But, how do we even begin to reach this seemingly impossible goal of pure bliss? Through reading Ray Bradbury’s short and magical tales of childhood, Dandelion Wine, I have come to realize that true happiness is the product of fulfillment. Therefore, when striving for joy, one must realize that it is not material things, nor even what they typically associate with happiness that they are really searching for; it is the feeling of fulfillment.
Sometimes in your life you meet people that could change your life around. It could be one of your friends or your family or teachers. We know that our life full of positive and negative things. And my best person of my life is my father. When I was thinking about my life full of negatives I start feeling bad and under pressure about my life and my future. I will never forget what my father did for me, he made me never give up and follow my dreams, teach me how to treat people and how to achieve my future plan, he helped me a lot.
Growing up generally feels like a rollercoaster. The bumps, the laughs, the cries, and most of all the alarming quickness from which I am sent right back from where I started. Life moves quick as a wink, I am always seeking for ideas and reasons to make my life more rewarding and worthwhile. Even though the journey is not easy, I am sure the no one has mastered the task of living a mistake-free life. I find each day too short for all the things I want to do. I learn from my mistakes and from the mistakes of others to make my life better. I have a host of aunts, uncles, cousins-even my parents suffer with numerous things that make their lives imperfect. It is the simple things that seem to get them down. They let fear control; self doubt take over, and they never follow their heart. Seeing my family and peers fail from time to time from drinking, break-ups, and financial set backs only motivates me to want better for myself.
Doughnuts have been one of the world’s greatest desserts and snacks that have ever been on the planet. As a matter of fact, doughnuts have become a sweet delicacy in more than just the United States. Doughnuts are small fried cakes of sweetened dough, typically formed in the shape of a small golf ball or a small ring. Doughnuts are usually deep fried from a dough made of flour and then shaped as a ball or ring. Some doughnuts have jelly or crème inserted into them to ensure the variety. Other types of batters can also be used, and various toppings and flavorings are used for different types, such as sugar, chocolate, or maple glazing. In addition to flour, doughnuts may also include such ingredients as water, leavening, eggs, milk, sugar, oil/shortening,
